Chapter 220 Ye Dacai's daughter is looking for a husband! (Part 2)
Ye Lingshuang had been secretly observing, and she saw clearly what Jiang Dazhu and Young Master Zhao were whispering to each other. After thinking for a while, she whispered to Grandma again. Old Madam Ye said that she was very happy today, and took this opportunity to come up with another couplet, and asked Young Master Zhao to come up with the second couplet.
Young Master Zhao was completely immersed in the atmosphere of ecstasy at this time, and agreed in a daze. However, when he heard Madam Ye's first couplet, he was dumbfounded.
I only heard Old Madam Ye slowly chanting: "My first couplet is also simple, this is the best choice for the crown of Nanzhou——"
Young Master Zhao immediately broke out in a cold sweat and glanced at Jiang Chengfeng, his eyes full of help. Jiang Chengfeng cursed inwardly, who told you to agree just now? There are so many people watching now! Even if I want to help you, how can I help you?
Seeing that Young Master Zhao was speechless, Zhu Kewei was secretly delighted. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Jiang Chengfeng take a step forward and said loudly: "Got it! Young Master knows the second line——"
After a pause, Jiang Chengfeng smiled and said, "Young Master's second line is 'The ancient times can be accepted by everyone!'"
Young Master Zhao smiled awkwardly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded and said with a smile: "That's right! This is my second line!"
Ye Lingshuang chuckled and said nothing, but Zhu Kewei was furious. Jiang Chengfeng had overshadowed him twice in a row, and his presence was becoming increasingly low.
Old Madam Ye laughed loudly, and then pushed out her granddaughter Ye Lingshuang, wanting to compete with Jiang Chengfeng in literary talent, saying that it was just a simple exchange to liven up the atmosphere.
Jiang Chengfeng smiled and pretended to know nothing.
However, everyone in the hall heard that Old Madam Ye was preparing to compete for a husband! However, this was a good opportunity to please the Ye family. Even if it failed, it would still be a graceful thing!
Ye Lingshuang naturally understood her grandmother's intention, her pretty face flushed, and she said angrily: "Grandma, you——"
Madam Ye patted the back of her granddaughter's hand and comforted her, " Shuang'er , don't worry! Just ask the questions, and grandma will support you!"
To be honest, Ye Lingshuang had never thought about finding a son-in-law. Today, her grandmother suddenly brought it up in front of everyone. She felt very shy and glanced at Jiang Chengfeng with her watery peach blossom eyes.
Ye Shengxian seemed to know something, and secretly ran to Jiang Chengfeng and begged, "Boss, please -"
Jiang Chengfeng was puzzled and asked, "Xiao Ye, what's wrong?"
Ye Shengxian glanced at Zhu Kewei who was rubbing his hands and said hurriedly: "No matter what, you have to answer my question correctly, and you have to be the first one to answer it correctly!"
Jiang Chengfeng widened his eyes, then smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Ye, you know! I never thought about following your sister—"
Ye Shengxian looked embarrassed and said apologetically, "Actually, my sister doesn't have a very good impression of you. She only has a little bit of good impression of you! However, my sister doesn't have any good impression of other men at all! Alas, no matter what, you have to help me! I beg you!"
Seeing Ye Shengxian leaving, Jiang Chengfeng was in a dilemma. Should he help? At this moment, Shen Ruoyan came over and whispered, "Jiang Dazhu, I'm warning you! You better watch your mouth!"
"What?" Jiang Chengfeng was stunned for a moment.
"Don't you realize that Madam Ye is trying to find a son-in-law? How could she be interested in you?" Shen Ruoyan blushed and glared at Jiang Chengfeng, saying, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will make Qingdie ignore you in the future!"
I'm stunned, this girl actually threatened me? However, Miss Shen's threats were commonplace. He didn't believe that Qingdie would ignore him just because of a word from the Miss!
However, if Miss Shen instigated Qingdie to do something, it would also be a troublesome matter. At this time, Jiang Chengfeng was even more embarrassed.
Jiang Chengfeng didn't say anything, and Shen Ruoyan immediately said in shame and anger: "Didn't you hear what I said? You dead man, you must be coveting Miss Ye's beauty, you——"
Shen Ruoyan's chest rose and fell with anger. She crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "What do you think of our Shen family?"
I'm dizzy, girl, can you please be reasonable? What does this have to do with the Shen family? I didn't say anything!
"Miss, I like Miss Ye, but Miss Ye may not like me! It's just that Xiao Ye is my friend, and she has begged me humbly. If I don't show some appreciation, wouldn't it seem like I have no loyalty?"
Shen Ruoyan snorted coldly, thought for a while, and then said: "How about this - you will see if anyone answers later. If someone answers, you will interrupt him! If not, you are not allowed to speak!"
Miss Shen really thinks I am a deity? She thinks I can answer all the questions?
Hearing that Old Madam Ye was going to hold a literary contest to recruit a son-in-law, the guests sitting in the courtyard rushed into the living room to watch the fun. Ye Duo glanced at his mother who was in high spirits, smiled bitterly, and asked the servants to add more tables and chairs.
"Shuang'er, all the talented young people in Jianghuai are here today! Just feel free to ask any questions you want!" Old Madam Ye patted the back of her granddaughter's hand.
Everyone held their breath and looked at Ye Lingshuang quietly, waiting for the first difficult question from this talented lady Ye.
Ye Lingshuang was pushed into the corner and felt helpless. She glanced at the pond outside the window, opened her red lips and chanted: "The clear water has no worries, but the wind wrinkles my face!"
This couplet is very clever. It not only describes the scenery at the time, but also alludes to the author's mood - she had no intention of finding a son-in-law, but was forced by her grandmother, so she had no choice!
After finishing speaking, Ye Lingshuang lowered her head and remained silent. Everyone present frowned in thought, especially Zhu Kewei, who rubbed his hands excitedly. This was a great opportunity!
Jiang Chengfeng glanced at Zhu Kewei, whose face was as red as a monkey's butt, and whispered in Miss Shen's ear: "Miss, in fact, Miss Ye is only worried about Mr. Zhu! Even if we have to cut off the connection, we should cut off his connection!"
Shen Ruoyan also heard the hidden meaning behind Ye Lingshuang's words and couldn't help but sympathize with her. She glanced at Zhu Kewei, pushed Jiang Chengfeng, and said hurriedly: "Why don't you answer it quickly--"
Jiang Chengfeng was startled, then quickly raised his hand and shouted, "I know!"
After saying this, he deliberately glanced at Zhu Kewei and found that Mr. Zhu was still scratching his head, and he felt a little relieved.
Seeing Jiang Chengfeng raise his hand, Ye Lingshuang was delighted and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, tell me something!"
Jiang Chengfeng coughed dryly, shook his head and said, "My second line is 'The green mountains never grow old, but the snow turns my hair white!'"
As soon as these words came out, people immediately applauded and praised, and then the whole hall was boiling. The second couplet that the Shen family servant came up with was not only suitable for the occasion, but also matched the artistic conception of the first couplet. Most importantly, it also implied the meaning of courtship, which was really wonderful!
When some people mentioned that this servant of the Shen family was the little servant who defeated Fang Zhi in the Yanyu Tower in Huazhou some time ago and won the praise of Mr. Bohu, they all praised him.
